Trivia

What makes it special

Lava world. Its surface is likely an ocean of molten rock.
Heavyweight. Packed denser than solid iron.

Could we get there?

Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2.3 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 207.6 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 1329 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 133 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1893.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 266 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts about 30.4 Earth years.

By the numbers

Size. About 14× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 2751 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 6198× Earth's mass — about 19.5 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 31.6× your Earth weight standing here.
Density. Denser than solid iron.
Temperature. Around 1156°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Gemini Observatory using the imaging method.

Cosmic context

Crowded system. One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

About HD 206893 b

HD 206893 b is an anomaly exoplanet. It lies about 132.9 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 1,429 K, spans roughly 14.01 Earth radii and weighs about 6,197.65 Earth masses.

Its surface is likely an ocean of molten rock.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, HD 206893 b is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.

Why HD 206893 b is an anomaly exoplanet

HD 206893 b scores 83 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the anomaly tier. Another 12 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 8 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Hot Jupiter, Lava world, Long-period world, Denser than iron, Multi-planet system and Directly imaged — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
